In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
His stubbornness is only matched by his ignorance of tactics.
@Wumminator you were asking what’s wrong with Southgate the other day. Here’s your answer.
This really doesn't apply to Trent... that's just Southgate being stubborn at this point, most fans/media didn't have Trent as a starter, and a lot that did, it was in a back 5.
I actually wanted Trent moved forward to midfield last season, but watching this I don't think he has the positional awareness for it. Maybe it's a coaching thing but his best work is at RB overall. He has to be playing in an attacking side that dominates the ball though. If he's in a side that has to defend a lot, he struggles. We saw that in 22/23 when our midfield was broken and he was left 1v1 every week.
Dread to imagine getting Germany, Southgate vs Nagelsmann will be the schooling of the century.
The occasional nice crossfield pass or ball over the top from Alexander Arnold is not enough to make up for his numerous weaknesses.
He's not a central midfielder for feck sake. End this stupid experiment now.

Gallagher is such a Southgate type of player 
Getting really irritated listening to Shearer prattle on, wish there was an alternative commentary option.
Southgate: Shit and predictable
Trent off. Hopefully the end of this experiment.
Not a fan of Gallagher but a better option.

8 minutes late with that sub
Hojlund has to do more.
Bellendingham under full sail tonight.

He does this change but he’ll still play Trent in midfield next game.
Gallagher coming on ahead of Mainoo/Wharton. Jesus Christ. This moron.
Ah ok. Southgate has lost the plot
Gallagher? Really?
He'll press way more than Trent.
He'll bring more energy and engage players sooner. Rice/Arnold too passive and deep.
feck my life, Gallagher is not the answer.
Hojlund’s having a shocker. Done literally nothing right. Every touch has been poor 
Gallagher
Gallagher. Atrocious. Ignores the two actual deeper midfielders. Again.
The Real Madrid effect in action.
Gallagher on for Alexander-Arnold
TAA off, thank goodness.
Feking hell, he's bringing on bloody Gallagher...
He made the exact same sub in the last game!
It was predictable. Southgate is predictable.
Gareth does like this Gallagher for TAA substitution.
Why does he not just start Gallagher? At least he is an actual midfielder

Should've been Mainoo.
If that’s the move he makes. I’m gonna lose my shit! More than I already have.
ahh yep. Just seen it
wtf is the point of bringing a guy on 8 minutes into the second half???? why not just make the change at HT??
Finally a sub. Although, a shit one.
That change will help 5%. Midfield is still average in quality and tactical awareness.
Hjulmand best player for Denmark so far. Good stuff.
TAA will probably still start against Slovenia…
Hahahah he's bringing on Gallagher AGAIN.
Can't believe some England fans applauded Southgate because of his "results" in prior tournaments (even though he basically contributed very little and played as conservative as possible while having some of the easiest runs in knockout play)
